Mission Union Elementary School District

Mission Union Elementary School District is a rural public school district in Soledad, California that receives federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, operating as a prime recipient on the grant side with minimal federal contracting activity. The district has no federal contract prime or sub positions; its federal footprint consists entirely of grant funding for K–12 educational programming.

The district is classified as a U.S. local government entity and school district. Its federal funding reaches across two decades of grant awards — the source data spans from 2007 to present — but activity has remained flat at one annual award per fiscal year from 2022 through 2025, with two awards recorded in 2026. The combined dollars obligated across all awards in the source total $475 thousand. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 95% of the district's federal award count, representing the sole federal customer agency. The Small, Rural School Achievement Program is a formula grant vehicle; Mission Union has received consecutive annual awards under this program with award dates each July 1st and ultimate completion dates each September 30th. Recent grants include awards issued July 1, 2026 (completion September 30, 2027), July 1, 2025 (completion September 30, 2026), and July 1, 2024 (completion September 30, 2025). One sub-grant award issued August 31, 2026, is described as funding for improving student academic achievement through teacher and principal quality initiatives and increasing highly qualified teacher placement in the classroom. One award reaches completion inside the next twenty-four months (September 30, 2026 ultimate completion date). The district does not operate as a prime or sub contractor on federal contracts and does not hold positions on government-wide acquisition vehicles, BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs.
